[ madoka has been sitting at his beside for - who knows how long. she probably wandered over after spotting his known friends/attendants out and about and hasn't moved since.
but she jolts up, hands hovering over him without touching. ]
[he blinks at that - with his one eye, and it's slowly dawning on him that he can't see out of the other one and the pain is beginning to sink through again - ]
He lost an eye, because someone thought that it'd be a good idea to attach us. I knew that, but I still put myself in a position of danger that he had to pay for...
I don't want to unload on you, Madopyon but - it's... It's hard not to be mad at myself.
It's just going to be a bad memory. A bad dream. When this is over, you'll both be okay.
[ every time she says that it feels a little less like a real justification. and she snivels, because it's hard playing tough when you're worried - when you're looking right at your friends injuries. ]

Don't move...! You're really hurt, Senri-kun.

I'm the one who should have been protecting you.
[ despite her own wavering voice, she still manages to sound firm in this. ]

I - no, it's.... I made a mistake....
no subject
[ ideally not ones that get you mauled, but. what can you do. ]
no subject
[and the frustration leaks in but - ]
.... sorry, Madopyon. I - worried you, huh.
no subject
I told you, you don't need to apologize. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you make.
no subject
[he shakes his head]
If I keep making mistakes, then that just inconveniences the people around me...
no subject
[ even if there are various people she's sure might say it like that. ]
You shouldn't be worrying about inconveniencing other people, right now. It's harder for yourself...

[ugh. his mouth presses into a frown]
